TNMG160404 T9215 — Tungaloy triangular indexable turning insert for turning

The TNMG160404 T9215 is a triangular indexable turning insert designed for medium steel machining in ISO-standard tool systems, offering a blend of wear resistance and toughness for productive continuous or lightly interrupted cuts.

• CVD-coated carbide grade T9215
• Optimised for medium steel machining
• Double-sided chipbreaker for consistent chips
• 16 mm triangular insert with 0.4 mm radius

Higher output through durable CVD-coated grade

The insert’s CVD-coated T9215 composition combines a wear-resistant coating with a tough cemented carbide substrate to extend tool life under typical shop-floor conditions. This material pairing reduces flank wear and resists chipping during steady production runs, which translates into fewer tool changes and higher machine utilisation. Specified as a first-choice grade for medium steel, the geometry and coating are optimised to maintain a stable cutting edge while allowing for the productivity gains associated with continuous and light interrupted cutting regimes.

Predictable fit and reduced setup time with ISO conformity

Compatibility is determined by the insert’s form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness, and this insert is manufactured to ISO dimensions for straightforward integration into existing toolholders. The 16 mm triangular format, 4.76 mm thickness and 0° relief angle ensure a secure seat and repeatable positioning, while the 60° included angle supports common external turning profiles. The result is predictable tool performance, quicker setups and consistent part tolerances across batches, making the insert a dependable choice for routine turning operations.

Efficient chip control and economical edge use

Equipped with a double-sided chipbreaker, the insert controls chip formation for reliable evacuation and surface finish, while providing multiple indexable faces for economic use of the cutting material. The design supports clean chips in the machining of medium steel and simplifies recovery of usable edges, reducing tooling costs per part. As part of a complete system—insert, matching holder, shim/clamp set and replacement screws—the component is intended to deliver repeatable results while keeping inventory management straightforward for production shops.

FAQ

Which materials is this insert best suited for?
The TNMG160404 T9215 insert by Tungaloy is optimised for medium steel machining and delivers a balance of wear resistance and toughness suited to continuous and lightly interrupted cuts.

How does the T9215 grade affect tool life?
The CVD-coated T9215 grade provides improved wear resistance and edge stability compared with uncoated grades, which helps to extend tool life and maintain consistent surface quality under production conditions.

How is compatibility with toolholders ensured?
Compatibility depends on the insert form, relief angle, tolerance class, clamping method, size and thickness; the ISO-standardised geometry of this indexable turning insert simplifies selection of a matching holder.

Does the insert offer multiple usable edges?
Yes—being double-sided and triangular, the insert provides multiple indexable faces to reduce tooling cost per edge and to support economical indexation during production.
